The IMDB Top 250 is a list of the top rated shows by IMDB users, and includes critically-acclaimed series such as Breaking Bad (#3) and Game of Thrones (#4), with the top spot going to Band of Brothers.

Stranger Things‘ rise to #20 means that it now sits above all other Netflix Original Series on the list, including breakout hits House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
